We talk all the time about the importance of story telling when it comes to shifting the Down syndrome narrative.. but how do we actually do that?! What if we’re not an influencer? What if we don’t have a stage or online platform? We’ve all thought things before.. but what if we told you that the most transformative stories are actually told around a dinner table? Today we are chatting with Katie Quesada, a speaker, storytelling coach, and Heather’s friend of many years! As someone so close to The Lucky Few, there’s no better person than Katie to coach us on DS advocacy! And she’s breaking down the art of story for us in a very practical way.. sharing about advice for fellow advocates, believing in the power of your story, our personal spheres of influence, and where to start (all you need is a one page word doc). You’ll be ready to shift narratives in your everyday life in no time.
